Going small: A Smart driving experience

Sometimes, I guess, timing is everything. When DaimlerChrysler AG announced in 2006 that it planned to bring the Smart fortwo micro car to the United States after nearly a decade in Europe, gas prices had reached about $2.80 a gallon. Now, Americans are paying more than $4 a gallon at the pump, SUV sales are plummeting and consumers are hungry for smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles.

The little Smart has been riding a wave of consumer interest, attracting thousands of car shoppers willing to put down $99 and wait about nine months for the two-seater. So when I sat in the driver's seat of a blue Smart fortwo last week, turned, and touched the back window with my finger tips, I had to wonder: Do Americans really want to go this small?

4 children removed from filthy Long Island home

A Long Island woman has been charged with endangering the welfare of her four children after a neighbor called 911 to report that the kids were living in filth.

Suffolk County police say they arrived at the home in Lake Grove Wednesday night and found that the home was infested with bugs and filled with garbage.

Police say the basement was flooded, the smell was revolting and the children had not been fed for a week. They are aged 2, 9, 12 and 15.

Police found the mother, Denise Schnell, at her workplace. She will be arraigned Thursday on four counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
